With myself. I went swimming at the south davis rec center. I love swimming! I swam some laps, did some flips, held my breath. THE USUAL. I was also really inspired by an elderly man (had to be in his late 70s) doing back flips and dives off the diving board.
Then I took advantage of the steam room:

After I put 15 pounds of conditioner on my ends (MELI I NEED SERIOUS HELP) I headed out to the McBrides for dinner:

There were snuggles and stories and we even went to visit their neighbor’s pet pig:
After hanging out I saw this post and was instantly so sad. This Home Depot is right across the street from where I worked in NYC. I shopped there multiple times. Sympathies to the families who lost their loved one – I hope that we can someday figure out this crazy world:

Good morning!* Since I am not a morning person, and because I gave up McMuffins for lent, I had to find a suitable breakfast alternative that was both quick and delish. Thus my fascination with overnight oats.


Recipe goes as follows:
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup unsweetend coconut milk (I bought the So Delicious pack from Costco)
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt (I get the nonfat kind)
1 TBS chia seeds
1 banana cut in half and then cut those halves in half and then cut those halves of the half in little pieces (need a pic? maybe in my next post)
Honey (as desired)


I add my ingredients starting with the oats, then the chia seeds, yogurt, coconut milk, banana and mix that all together and then add some honey (mix it all together again) for decoration (my initials below) + sweetness:

Then just stick this in the fridge and let the oats + chia seeds soak everything up! I normally will make this before I go to bed and eat for breakfast. Some of my favorite toppings include: almond butter, coconut chips or sliced almonds.


BON APPETIT!


*Something you would never catch me saying.

Foggy morning weather:
Cheap gas:



I had a great day at work. We got a bunch of stuff done and also had time to hang and connect. I really love my team.


After work blue skies:

Picked up the mail and got the sweetest card from Rachel:

Owl always love you, smachel:

Decorated the back splash in my kitchen:

A little farther back:

With mood lighting:



I scrubbed down my whole house tonight and my room is SPOTLESS. It feels so good! I am having a great week.


Loves,
